Abstract

Experiments on shock-wave attenuation in a porous tube have shown that attenuation is a function of distance from the origin and the rate of cross-mass flow per unit area. It is a linear function of distance if the cross-mass flow rate per unit area is held constant. In a tube with solid walls the relationship between attenuation, mass extraction rate per unit area and distance is similar to that in a proous tube. The ratio of the local attenuation to the local cross-mass flow, or mass extraction rate, per unit area is the same linear function of distance in both sets of experiments. The mechanism of attenuation is therefore also identical.
